This work provides the first examination of Ahmad al-Ghazali and his work in Western scholarly literature. The author seeks to ascertain the authenticity of works attributed to Ahmad al-Ghazali, trace the development of the dominant trends in the biographical literature, and reconstruct the life and times of Ahmad al-Ghazali with particular attention to his relationship with his more famous brother, Abu Hamid al-Ghazali. Lumbard’s findings revolutionise our understanding of Ahmad al-Ghazali's writings, allowing for focus on his central teachings regarding Divine Love and the remembrance of God.
